066 FXUS62 KMLB 030549 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 149 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 ...New AVIATION... .AVIATION... (06Z TAFs) Issued at 149 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 Mostly VFR through today into tonight. Ridge axis of high pressure over the west Atlantic will remain north of central FL, keeping an onshore flow across the region. A few showers possible along the Treasure Coast through early this morning. Then, isolated to scattered afternoon showers and storms will be possible along the inland moving sea breeze boundary, but greatest potential for rain looks to exist with sea breeze collision toward the western side of the FL peninsula later in the afternoon and toward sunset. Therefore, rain chances remain rather low across east central FL. Have limited any mention of this activity to VCSH or VCTS for inland TAF sites and along the Treasure Coast. However, tempo IFR/MVFR conditions will be possible should any convection develop over or move across any TAF sites this afternoon. Winds are forecast out of the east around 5-10 knots, increasing to around 10-12 knots with the sea breeze boundary as it shifts inland during the afternoon. Winds then diminish to 5 knots or less overnight tonight. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1027 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024 Made some adjustments to PoPs, generally bringing them down across the board as guidance has backed off once again. A shower or two from the western side of the peninsula could wander back this way over the next hour or two, but so far the opposing easterly low level and westerly mid-upper level flow has kept convection mostly stationary well to our west, so chances are pretty low. Best chance or showers and maybe even a storm overnight will be mainly along the Treasure Coast between midnight and early Monday morning. Onshore moving sprinkles and light showers remain possible along the whole coast through morning, but odds favor from the Cape south. Rest of the forecast remains on track for a quiet night. && .MARINE... Issued at 236 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024 High pressure will drift farther into the western Atlantic through mid-week, with the ridge axis forecast to extend towards the Florida peninsula through late week. A weak cool front is forecast to approach the area Friday into Friday night, though this feature will likely stall before making it to east central Florida. Thus, boating conditions will continue to improve into Monday, with onshore flow remaining under 15kts through Wednesday. By Thursday, winds veer southeasterly, as the ridge axis moves southward, with winds then veering southerly on Friday. Seas 3-4ft tonight becoming 2-3ft through the remainder of the period. Daily shower and thunderstorm chances are forecast, with some activity pushing offshore in the evening hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
